The mayor of San Francisco is blaming “big business” for the homeless problem...too many high paying jobs driving real estate values up. Sounds like a great problem to have.

The REAL reason we have homeless has very little to do with housing and real estate values. There are two core problems 1) drug abuse, and 2) mental illness - each and EVERY person deemed “homeless” falls into at least one of these categories, often both. These local governments exacerbate both problems by 1) encouraging drug abuse with needle programs and non-enforcement of drug laws (or any laws for that matter) and 2) refusing to institutionalize and treat the mentally ill that are dangerous to themselves and others.

Until we start talking about the REAL problems, there will be no solution.
